Imagine paying just $34 for monthly rent, working a stable job that pays over $2,000 per month, and living in a country where Africans are quietly building new lives legally.
While many keep dreaming of the U.S. or U.K., others have already discovered an easier, faster, and more affordable path and it’s not where you think.
This is not a visa lottery, and it’s not a fake scheme. It’s a real-life shift that many are using to escape poverty, joblessness, and high living costs in Africa.
So, where are they going?

The Country Most People Ignore is Georgia
Yes, we’re talking about the country Georgia, not the U.S. state.
Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is quietly becoming a new hotspot for Africans, especially those looking for:
- Affordable living
- Remote work opportunities
- A safe and welcoming environment
- Easy entry and residency options
Here’s why it’s turning into one of the best-kept secrets for African migrants.
Rent in Georgia Starts at $34/Month
In cities like Tbilisi and Batumi, you can rent a decent one-bedroom apartment for as little as $34 to $150 per month.
Compare that to:
- Accra or Lagos: $250–$400/month for a small room
- Johannesburg: $300–$500/month for shared spaces
- London or New York: $1,000 and above for a studio
With just a small budget, you can live comfortably in Georgia. That means:
- Better food quality
- Reliable electricity
- Fast internet
- Clean streets
- Safe neighborhoods
Jobs & Remote Work: Earning $2,000/month and Up
The real secret?
You don’t even need to work for a Georgian company.
Many Africans living in Georgia work online as:
- Virtual assistants
- Freelancers (writing, design, tech)
- English tutors
- Customer support agents
- E-commerce or dropshipping store owners
Because the cost of living is low, earning just $2,000/month remotely puts you in the top income bracket in Georgia — without needing to earn in local currency.
Even better, Georgia has:
- No income tax for foreign income (for the first 183 days)
- Low tax rates (1%–20%) if you register a small business
- Co-working spaces, internet cafes, and English-speaking communities
This means Africans with basic digital skills are thriving quietly while others keep struggling back home.
Visa-Free Entry for Many African Countries
Georgia allows visa-free or e-visa entry to many African passport holders for up to 90 days to 1 year — depending on your country.
Examples:
- Nigerians with U.S., UK, or Schengen visas can enter visa-free for 90 days
- South Africans get 1-year visa-free access
- Ghanaians and Kenyans can apply easily for an e-Visa online
Once in the country, you can apply for:
- Temporary residence (if you get a job or start a business)
- Freelance/entrepreneur permits
- Digital nomad visas (if working online)
No lottery. No agent. No embassy delay
Why Most People Don’t Know This
The reason you haven’t heard about Georgia is simple:
It’s not popular yet.
Most agents don’t promote it because they can’t charge high processing fees. There’s no big migration buzz around it. And that’s exactly why smart people are taking advantage of it now, before it becomes the next visa-saturated destination.
What You Need to Get Started
Here’s what most Africans are doing before moving:
- Learn a digital skill (virtual assistant, writing, teaching, etc.)
- Save at least $1,000 to support your first 2–3 months
- Check your visa options on the official Georgian e-Visa portal
- Book a cheap flight (often under $400 from West Africa)
- Find temporary accommodation (Airbnb, Facebook groups, etc.)
- Network with other Africans already living in Georgia
You do not need to:
- Win a lottery
- Get sponsored by a company
- Pay thousands to any “agent”
While millions keep waiting for lucky breaks that may never come, others are already living a better life , legally, quietly, and smartly.
Georgia is one of the few countries where you can still live well, earn in dollars, and avoid the immigration chaos.
And for Africans with skills, courage, and a little bit of planning, this opportunity is wide open.
